NASA Hosts Green Aviation Summit
The Green Aviation Summit is highlighting NASA's work to develop aviation technologies that are designed to make air transportation cleaner and quieter for the environment.
Bolden Highlights Importance of Issue to Future of NASA
MOFFETT FIELD, Calif., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA has a "critical responsibility" to the flying public to develop environmentally responsible solutions to the nation's most pressing aviation problems, Administrator Charles F. Bolden Jr. said Wednesday.
Addressing the Green Aviation Summit under way through Thursday at NASA's Ames Research Center, Bolden said air travel is one of the safest modes of transportation and vital to the U.S. economy, but increasing air traffic is taking a toll on the environment and the nation's aviation infrastructure.
"We need to make some changes -- both in the design of aircraft and in the way they transit through our skies to not only maintain, but improve safety and efficiency," Bolden said. "That's a huge challenge, but we at NASA enthusiastically accept it."
The Green Aviation Summit is highlighting the depth and breadth of NASA's work to develop aviation technologies that are designed to make air transportation cleaner and quieter for the environment, with fewer delays for travelers.
"Our critical responsibility is [to] those who feel anxious because of the long distance they have to travel to reach an airport; the crowding they experience upon arrival at the terminal; the departure, en route, or arrival weather; or concerns that the technology on the planes may not be up to dealing with problems that may be encountered in the sky," Bolden told the summit.
The two-day meeting has brought together about 200 experts from NASA, other federal government organizations, industry and academia. Keynote presentations by leading policymakers as well as detailed technical presentations and panel discussions are focusing on state-of-the-art and emerging technologies that can reduce aircraft noise, emissions and fuel consumption and ensure the safe and manageable growth of the aviation system.
Jaiwon Shin, NASA's associate administrator for aeronautics research, said NASA technology will become increasingly important because of the lack of available space for new airports. "We really are helping the country to advance to the next generation of air transportation and aviation by working together," he said. "This summit signifies our strong commitment."
Summit participants are sharing the results of their work on airplanes that will be designed and built with unconventional configurations, super-efficient engines and lightweight, damage-tolerant materials to increase lift, reduce drag, and deflect noise; innovations that will capitalize on the potential of alternative fuels and advanced power technologies; and efforts to equip aircraft cockpits with computer software and satellite-based navigation and communication systems to assist decision-making by pilots.
Ames Research Center Director Simon "Pete" Worden opened the summit by crediting NASA research for today's understanding of climate change and the effects of global warming on the environment. "As the world travels even more," said Worden, "we're going to have a very serious global warming issue, as well as lots of other environmental impacts of aviation."
Bolden, Shin and Worden all noted that conservation - through improved performance, efficiency and safety -- is an aim that has guided NASA's research goals for decades. "Green is not just a buzzword to us," Bolden said.
Examples of green technology NASA has developed in the past include winglets and chevrons. Winglets are the vertical attachments that can be seen on the wing tips of many commercial airliners in service today, and are designed to reduce fuel consumption. Chevrons are the scalloped edges on the engine nozzles of some models of commercial and cargo aircraft just now entering the market, and are designed to reduce noise.
NASA has a suite of incremental goals for demonstrating the feasibility of aircraft technology and air traffic management techniques that can minimize the environmental effects of air transportation by:

Norwegian Petroleum Directorate announces production figures December 2012
Wednesday, Jan 16, 2013Preliminary production figures for December 2012 indicate an average daily production of about 1 867 000 barrels of oil, NGL and condensate.
This is 59 000 barrels per day more than in November 2012.
Total gas sales were about 11.0 billion Sm3, which is 1,0 GSm3 more than the previous month.
The average daily liquid production in December was: 1 483 000 barrels of oil, 309 000 barrels of NGL and 75 000 barrels of condensate.
The total oil production on the Norwegian shelf is 13 per cent below the prognosis for December. This is mainly due to planned maintenance and technical problems on Morvin, Njord, Tordis, Visund Sør and Åsgard. Both The Valhall and Hod fields have been closed for the entire month due to preparation in front of production start for a new platform. In addition, Yme and Skarv should have contributed to the production in December according to the prognosis, but these fields will not contribute to achieving the NPD prognosis for 2012.
The oil production is also about 5.0 percent below the prognosis this year.
The total petroleum production in 2012 was about 226.1 million Sm3 oil equivalents. (MSm3 o.e.) broken down as follows: about 89.2 MSm3 o.e. of oil, about 22.1 MSm3 o.e. of NGL and condensate and about 114.8 MSm3 o.e. of gas for sale. The total volume is 6.3 MSm3 o.e. larger than for the same period 2011.
Final production figures for November 2012 show an average daily production of about 1.441 million barrels of oil, 0.367 million barrels of NGL and condensate, and a total of 10.0 billion Sm3 saleable gas production.
Preliminary production figures for January will be published in February 2013.

Geeta didn't have a chance to enjoy any of those activities when she was a nine-year-old. She was going to start a new job to help earn money for her family. But she never made it her first day of work. Instead, she was sold to a brothel and forced into having sex with up to 60 men each day.
Without question, Geeta's story is a harrowing and terrifying account of the horrible atrocities of human trafficking. What's even more shocking than her tragic circumstances is that this story is no longer uncommon for a large part of our world. Although Geeta was eventually rescued by a policeman from her dire circumstances, the memories of her time enslaved will always remain with her. Reminders of her former life will always haunt her, effectively creating another tomb to imprison her.
Can you imagine what your life would have been like if you were forced into the same situation as Geeta? Can you even begin to fathom the pain you would feel if Geeta were your child or your grandchild?
It's a pain that the victims of human trafficking and their parents and families across the world feel each and every single day. And it's a pain that the rest of the world continues to ignore. But with the help of movies like Trade of Innocents and organizations like CMDA, this pain is now being brought to the surface. Our world can no longer stand idly by and watch as millions of people are affected by this injustice every year. The time to get involved is now, as we work to save one life at a time. Will you join us in the fight against human trafficking?

Palm Beach Lakes basketball star Myeisha Hall commits to Old Dominionby Matt Porter
Old Dominion received a commitment from Palm Beach Lakes girls basketball star Myeisha Hall, the Virginia Pilot (Norfolk, Va.) is reporting.
A 5-foot-8 point guard, Hall is ranked 53rd among Class of 2011 by ESPN. As a junior, she didn't let an injury stop her from becoming a first-team Palm Beach Post All-Area selection. Hall averaged 21.8 points and 9.8 rebounds a game despite missing seven games with a bruised calf and a torn ligament in her elbow.
"She's a very athletic combo guard," Lakes coach Cassandra Rahming told the Pilot. "She can run the 1 or 2. She shoots the 3, gets to the hoop. And not too many people know this, but she's one of the best defenders and has very long arms."
Old Dominion was Hall's first official visit. She told the Pilot she was also being heavily recruited by James Madison and Illinois.

Delicious! – Had a lunch here with co-workers.
Waitstaff was very attentive, food was delicious (highly recommend the shrimp bisque!), and their dessert case is amazing.
Only negative was how loud the restaurant was. It was almost impossible to hear the person sitting across from me.
Imaginative menu that is well prepared. – Recently relocated from the NYC metro area, I've struggled to find good restaurants in Jax. BB's is an exception. I've dined there several times from simple apps at the bar, salad and 3 course meal. Each and every meal was very good. Consistency with such a changing menu is often difficult.
When I cannot make up my mind where to eat and want I nice meal I head to BB's.
Just a word of caution - the place can get loud. This does not bother me but could be a put off for some. The hard surfaces do little to deaden the sounds from the popular bar.
If you do dine here, leave room for desert. I recommend a view of the desert case before you order your meal.
Salads are always excellent - fresh and crisp. I often have them as a meal.
Food is above average; service is excellent – While they don't take reservations, you can put your name on a call-ahead list with a specific time. We did this and were seated within five minutes of our time on a weekend evening. Food was above average. The goat cheese salad is an absolute must. Restaurant was cramped, loud, and very cold.
Great date! – My husband & I went here on our anniversary. The food was outstanding - each and every morsel was better than the last. And THEN, the dessert - how to choose? The dessert was as beautiful as it was delicious.
The service was impecible! The airconditioning was blowing at our table so our waiter offered to move us and brought me a wrap.
The atmosphere was lively and the decor modern - a great overall experience!
try it you'll like it – we are visiting here this weekend and this restaurant was recommended by the Radisson hotel where we are staying. The food was excellent, with great interesting and some original salad dressings, a variety of seasonings, and sides. Our waiter was wonderful, friendly, helpful with suggestions and fast!! We ate outside, had no problem getting a table on a Friday night at about 6:00 or so, although the cars kept coming and coming, (and going and going.....) I think it is safe to say, the place is gooooood, goooooood, gooooood!!
bb's bees the best! – great food! excellent enviroment.
little pricey! yet elegant and romantic place.
great with friends or for a date!
Excellent – BB's is a great fine dinig experience. An alternative menu to other restaurants that are out there. Great service, food, & wine list. If you're in the mood for brunch this is an excellent choice. And anytime you're just feeling like you want dessert, this is the best choice in town. Decadent, flavorful, and desserts you can't find anywhere else.

Residents at the Springhill Apartments on Ray Bon Drive say their A/C units are not working fully or not working at all, and management hasn't done anything about the problem.
Robert Devoe lives at the East Side apartment complex. He says the coolest it gets on any given day is 84 degrees.
"I've been going through six weeks of someone coming out, looking at the air conditioning, determining that it's not functioning properly, and telling me that they'll write it up. Writing it up doesn't cool the apartment down," Devoe said.
Devoe is not alone. Some 18 residents at the Springhill Apartments are dealing with the same thing.
"This is low income housing, we have a number of elderly people that live here," Devoe said. "We have some of them with air conditioning problems, we have young mothers with newborn children."
The apartments are run by the San Antonio Housing Authority. SAHA said until recently they turned over management to someone else.
"When the third party management took over back in July, they did an assessment of the property and they realized there were some units that did need repair and maintenance so this is in response to that assessment," said Angela Johnson with SAHA.
Johnson said SAHA sent two contractors and one technician to the apartment complex Tuesday afternoon to work on the problem.
SAHA said the contractors would be working through the night to fix those A/C units.

Not Fluent In Any Language
On TikiTikiBlog.com, Carrie talks about the "Latino 1.5" – which by definition is: "not proficient in English or Spanish and born to first-generation American immigrants from Mexico and Central America."
This reminded me of an issue Carlos faces, which I know is familiar to many others out there.
According to the definition, Carlos isn't truly a "Latino 1.5″ – he wasn't born in the United States and wasn't brought here as a child. He was born and raised in El Salvador and immigrated here at about 18 years old. While learning to speak English, he has maintained his Spanish – making him bilingual – but there's a problem.
Do you remember how you spoke at the age of 18? Has your vocabulary grown since then? Most of us would say, "Yes." In fact, scientifically speaking, your vocabulary should have grown by thousands of words between the ages of 18 and 30 – perhaps more if you like to read.
Although this is a chart of vocabulary size by age for English-speakers, (and the English language has double the words the Spanish language has), common sense tells as that a chart for speakers of any language would look similar – with one's vocabulary increasing with age.
But what happens when one is removed from their native-speaker environment? Less interaction in the language means vocabulary growth slows, stagnates, or worse, begins to decrease as new words are not learned and unused words are forgotten.
So back to Carlos. What does this mean for him, and others like him? It means that while he is bilingual, he is not fluent in either language – at least not at the level he should be for his age. The longer he's in the U.S. the more Spanish he forgets. He has Spanish-speaking co-workers but they're Mexican, not Salvadoran. While he hasn't seemed to pick up any Mexican-isms, (as is really common for Salvadorans in the U.S.) – he does seem to use less Salvadoran-isms.
His mother no longer lives with us and he has a lukewarm relationship with most of his family. He calls his best friend back in El Salvador a couple times a week with phone cards that last around 15 minutes and that is pretty much the only Salvadoran Spanish he gets to speak. He doesn't like to read either, so his vocabulary doesn't grow even in standard Spanish – He is, for the most part, stunted in his native language.
In English, Carlos seems to learn a new word every day, but having begun to learn it so late in life, it's highly unlikely that he'll ever reach the fluency enjoyed by native speakers – particularly when it comes to reading and writing.
As for me – as a language lover, book lover, a writer, and someone who just generally finds pleasure in expressing myself through words, I think the situation is kind of heartbreaking. I can't imagine the frustration that one would feel not having sufficient words to describe thoughts and emotions with precision. An example of this happened just yesterday.
Carlos went to great lengths to explain to me that he was feeling "weird" – he told me he had been thinking of memories from his teenage years and listening to music from that time in his life. He said that the memories and music made him sad in a weird way even though the memories and music are both happy. The word Carlos was looking for was "nostalgic" (or, "nostálgico" in Spanish) – but neither of these words were part of his regular vocabulary so I had to supply them for him. Once I gave him the word he was able to give his feelings a name, which is reassuring as human beings have an innate need to understand things and categorize them.
Are you not completely fluent in any language or do you know someone who is?
Update: I see that the Tiki Tiki is blogging on a similar topic today. Check out, "Oye, Are you Really Bilingual?"
Update #2: A friend, (Diane) mentioned to me that she blogged about her experience on this topic and I asked for her link. Here is another story about losing fluency in one's first language. Also, I learned from Diana the name of this phenomenon in case anyone wants to research further: Language Attrition.
Posted on April 3, 2012, in Language. Bookmark the permalink. 13 Comments.
Sadly, I think there are many native born Americans who are not completely fluent in the way that you use that term. My first husband's family has been here since before the American Revolution, and he can speak English, but I during our divorce I discovered that his reading comprehension and writing skills were extremely poor. I'm married to a Central American immigrant who came here as an adult not knowing any English and who is truly fluent in both Spanish and English. I think the real difference is that he connects, in both languages, to things that he likes – politics and sports, in his case. Those are the subjects that he likes to watch on tv, check on the internet, and, occasionally, read in the paper, and he follows them in both languages even though he is not a huge reader. There are resources out there in English and Spanish, but I wonder if part of the problem is that American culture (and many others) focus on the quick and easy, and we don't spend a lot of reflective time delving into things deeply. We seem to live in a sound-byte world, and you don't need to know much to get by at that superficial level. I hope we can change that.
Tracy – I also found it funny (but great) that you and Tiki Tiki Blog posted about the same topic on the same day. Though being the top-of-the-line writers that you both are, you each tackled the topic from very different angles and gave equally valuable but totally different perspectives.
Though the outcomes are somewhat different, Carlos' and my experience are very similar. I came to the US at the age of 20. I've always been an avid reader and lover of language in general, so even for my age, my Spanish vocabulary was advanced. But fast-forward 16 years with little exposure to Colombian friends, limited reading done in Spanish, almost no exposure to Spanish-language media, and you find me struggling some times to speak or write my own native language. I'm like one of those people I used to hate watching on El Show de Cristina who were introduced as being from a Latin American country but had a weird affectation and discomfort to their speech. Now I understand it.
And like Carlos, that disconnect with the language comes up in a weirdly emotional way when I go back to music or movies that I used to watch as a young kid. Unlike a person reminiscing on things from their past in the same country and language, when you do it as a person who has moved countries and languages, it feels like you're replaying scenes from a beautiful dream that you had and were disappointed to find out it never actually happened.
But ok, I'm getting sappy now and making myself sick. The point of it all: I agree with you – not having the words to express what one feels is a very frustrating situation. Just like everything else in life, to gain something you almost always have to give up something else. We came here chasing a dream and many of us achieved it, some times at the cost of giving up a big part of who we are (or were).
p.s. that second sign is hilarious: "If you don't understand what this sign says, we kindly ask that you approach the front desk and say to the clerk with the mustache and the red bow tie that you need to be spoken to in "Español""
You have hit the nail on the head! I am an ELL teacher working with mostly hispanic HS students and when I entered this career I expected to be working with immigrants, especially newcomers, not KIDS of immigrants- students who were born here. When I mention to fellow teachers that Juan or Luz were actually born in the U.S. they are taken aback and ask "Why are they still in ELL if they were born here?" Your post explains it perfectly. They aren't really proficient in either language. Their first language skills developed socially, but never academically, and they entered the educational world thousands of words behind their peers. When they learn new academic words in English, they have nothing to connect it to in their first language. My true "newcomer" students, however actually aquire English much faster, as long as they come from an academic background in Spanish. They soak up the academic language like sponges because they actually know the word for it in Spanish. When I tell my 2nd generation students what the word is in Spanish, mostly I get blank stares. My husband and I are now trying to raise my son to be bilingual and TRUELY bilingual in both languages but it's a very challenging task! My husband who left Mexico with only a 9th grade education (but got his HS diploma in English and is now in college) struggles to help me when I don't know a word in Spanish. Thank goodness for bilingual dictionary apps for cellphones!
Interesting! My mother is born and raised in the U.S. but only went to school up to the 7th grade and was raised in an atmosphere of English is only for speaking to white people….never in the home or in the barrio. There are many words that she can only say in Spanish because she never learned them in English. I am the same way and it can be a little embarrassing when speaking to co-workers and I can't remember the word for comál or sartén etc :)
My husband was born and raised in the US in a Spanish speaking home. He started learning English in kindergarden but I tease him that he's still not fluent. There are English words I grew up using that he has never heard of. He's definitely considered fluent in both languages but there are times he doesn't know the word for some things in Spanish. I'm sure what you described is pretty typical. Good thing Carlos has you… maybe you should teach him a new word a day. :)
Hi Tracy I can definitely relate to Carlos Im a 1st Generation.
Raised to teen years in El Salvador. I can neither speak write my best english or spanish. when I went To El Salvador I was asking for A "printiadora" aka Printer I had no Idea the spanish word is Impresora.

"Mathematics is biology's next microscope, only better." That's what the scientist Joel E Cohen once said of the power of mathematics to revolutionise biology and the biomedical sciences. And he was right. Maths enables scientists to understand complex organisms and diseases, it's crucial in developing sophisticated medical technology and materials, and we can even use it to model our psyche and intelligence. In this sense maths has become a genuine research instrument for biomedical sciences. The insight it gives them are on a par with the revolutionising power of the microscope.

Infectious diseases hardly ever disappear from the headlines — swine flu is only the last in a long list containing SARS, bird flu, HIV, and childhood diseases like mumps, measles and rubella. If it's not the disease itself that hits the news, then it's the vaccines with their potential side effects. It can be hard to tell the difference between scare mongering and responsible reporting,
How do you judge the risks and benefits of new medical treatments, or of lifestyle choices? With a finite health care budget, how do you decide which treatments should be made freely available on the NHS? Historically, decisions like these have been made on the basis of doctors' individual experiences with how these treatments perform, but over recent decades the approach to answering these questions has become increasingly rational.
One of the greatest advances in the biomedical sciences has been the unravelling of our genetic code. This new understanding sheds light on what makes organisms function and how they are related to each other, helps to combat diseases, and to convict criminals. But it also poses great mathematical challenges: the genetic revolution is an information explosion which can only be tamed using mathematical methods.

Abattoir, May 2014
by Jordan Sanderson
"Insert coin here. The curtains might spread unevenly. This is a human operation." The trapeze artist's hands crushed by an elephant, corn bleeding in its husk, sharks circling below—these poems deliver on the slaughter promised in the title but they are much more than visceral. In the tradition of our greatest prose poets (Baudelaire, Simic, Tate), these poems sacrifice the unity of the whole for the specificity of the part (the body for the muscle flexing beneath); they go down to where the heat is generated. The speed and range of the imagination at play here is staggering. Dizzying, uncanny, "You might feel that ghosts are performing world famous sex acts on the edge of the light," reading this collection, but not to worry. The poems explode but never exclude: "You will be in every picture."
—Lindsay Doukopoulos, poetry editor for Pantheon Magazine
To enter Jordan Sanderson's Abattoir is to arrive in a place wherein conscious dreaming is possible. Indeed, these pieces combine to create a sort of wakeful parasomnia: the poems are a nightmarish tumble of images and associations but deeply comedic, textural, and beautiful. Sanderson's ability to recontextualize the quotidian, to mix elements of daily life into a blur of surreal and existential mosaics reminds one of Wallace Stevens. However, Sanderson's prose poems cleanse the mind even as they challenge it, refresh the senses even as the poems themselves speak to the transitory nature of human perception. Both genuinely frightening and comedic, Sanderson has achieved the sublime in this remarkable volume.

Note Left like Silver On The Eyes of the Dead, December 2013
by Jeff Whitney
Jeff Whitney's poems combine clarity of mind, seriousness and humor, a broad sense of time and culture, deep feeling, and a kind of music that makes one listen more intently, that makes one want to read these poems again and again. Like sharing a jug of wine with Li Po or sipping espresso with Picasso, reading Jeff Whitney's poems is time well spent.

You do not say what you did to install. If it is not a primary partition you may get problems. If it is not formatted by the mac diskutils program properly you will get problems. If it not the right type of format EXT3 Journaled- you will get problems. If it is named as you said you WILL get problems.
Visit Main Page - OSx86. look at the info there on how to install and hardware lists
These "please help me" cries are always funny.
If you say you have tried all the other distro's and none worked - though you do not describe how none of them worked and to what extent you got in the boot issues of each - YOU are doing something wrong over and over again and failing to learn.
NO ONE can help you right now. You do not say what is wrong, you do not say what you did that does not work and you offer no clues as to your level of expertise as to EXACTLY where you are stumped. You just scream "please help me". Please grow up - this tells no one anything.
If you go to a Medical Doctor and just scream "please help me" and will give no symptoms or clues as to what is going on - even a Doctor cannot help you but begin guessing - and guess what - they get paid to do so - no one here is being paid by you, and still the doctor could end up killing you rather than saving you because you did not tell a critic piece of information - like a severe allergy or something like that which could kill you in his efforts to help you. Computers - especially the OS's of computers are NO DIFFERENT.
You do not say what is going on. No one is a mind reader here and were not sitting in front of your machine.
A Kext is likely probably not loading or blocking something
The kexts are vendor and device ID specific - so if the kext does not have the right vendor and model ID referenced in the kext file - it will fail - or pass up the device anyway.
You have to figure this out yourself - it is YOUR machine. They are all different as to what is in the unit from the manufacturer, and even if using common device components - the vendor and device ID may be different that what the kext might have in it.
If you have Windows still on the same machine - and it is working - you can do kext editing from inside windows by installing some helper tools to look into the HPS drive. Use Windows Text Editor Download and Download Ext2Fsd 0.46 - An open source Ext2 File System Driver for Windows - Softpedia and Catacombae - HFSExplorer (HFS Explorer) to see and get at the Mac files in Windows. OR You can BUY Macdrive. If you are having dual boot problems try installing EasyBCD from inside Windows to boot between the two. Its free.
This above will only work if you have been smart enough to do a dual boot machine where Windows is on another partition or permanent drive in the same computer.
You can see the vendor and device ID in Windows, and the kext will have a name and you can find the vendor and device ID in the text of the kext info.plist. You can edit this from the windows side with the editor above - and use no other - they will not work.
After you get in through safe mode, you can run "diskutils repairpermissions /" (without the quotes) and to fix the changes you made from the Windows side
There are ways to do this from the -s boot option (single user mode) but it is really getting UNIX specific as to the commands, and if you are there and know nothing anyway - you should probably pay someone, buy a real MAC or just give up - OR get ready for a real extensive learning curve and research on the web.
You need to do some research on how the Mac OS works. Match your kext families with the missing parts of the OS not loading - change the vendor and device ID's and one at a time - you'll get them working and the boot errors will go away.
If you have/had IPC 10.5.6 ppf4 or ppf5 you would likely have most of the kexts - but they might not have the right vendor ID and device ID for the unit you are trying to install on.
Once installed, you need to boot in safe mode from the Darwin prompt with the -x option. Use -v also so you can see what it is loading and if it does stop in safe mode and where. Then you can try -v -f on another boot to see if it will make it all the way
The MacOS is at it's core - UNIX - you cannot just lump a question in something and throw it here that is non-descriptive as to tell anyone not at your PC what is TRULY going on, even though I am a UNIX engineer.
No one can help you if they cannot tell what is really going on - and if you are not ready to learn some UNIX - give up now.
If you install the right kexts (Kernel EXTensionS) with the right vendor id's applicable the system will load them as it finds the hardware during the boot process.
Read the clues of the boot process yourself and do some research as to what they mean and then if you have a specific question you cannot find on the Internet or in the forums - that someone can identify - post that.
Of course you can always BUY a real MAC, and then holler "please help me" all you want to Apple Computer Support, and at some point they will tell you the same thing.
Listen here im just asking for help you said some real unneccessary S***..Aint no need for These "please help me" cries are always funny. or Of course you can always BUY a real MAC, and then holler "please help me" all you want to Apple Computer Support, and at some point they will tell you the same thing and NO ONE can help you right now. You do not say what is wrong, you do not say what you did that does not work and you offer no clues as to your level of expertise as to EXACTLY where you are stumped. You just scream "please help me". Please grow up - this tells no one anything....You suppose to be helping not sayin BS.. Aint no need for all that you feel me you could just ask for what you need to know and we can work it out..But no you feel like bein a smart ass and say stuff that doesnt even have to do with anything.

Apparently there was urine & feces around the bathroom , food all over the beds and toothpaste all over the mirror. To me that sounds like someone else's idea poor idea of a prank that someone would refuse to clean up, then something you would do in your own room.

Building a healthier California is the primary mission of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). Specifically, pedestrian safety, reducing the number of pedestrian injuries and fatalities statewide, is a goal in the Department's new 2011-14 Strategic Plan. In addition to reducing death and injuries, creating safe and accessible pedestrian facilities also help to make walking an easy choice. This is viewed as a foundational first step in encouraging the healthy and active lifestyle that is critical to combating obesity and its life threatening health consequences.
In California today we know that approximately 19 percent of traffic fatalities are pedestrian related. That is approximately 58 percent more than the national average. However, while this percentage may seem extraordinary, California is working diligently to reduce the number of individuals injured or killed in pedestrian collisions.
As public health works to improve healthy lifestyles through walkable communities and increased physical activity, it is important that we create environments where these activities can happen safely. To help accomplish this, PedSafe implements a variety of activities, emphasizing a multi-prong approach of education, technical assistance, training and facilitation. Projects include:
PedSafe collaborates with several partners to implement its grant, including:

Positioning begins for 2013 council election
By Mike Danahey email@example.com November 19, 2012 11:56AM
Elgin City Clerk Kim Dewis sticks her head out her office door Monday morning to meet potential candidates like Mitchell Esterino (2nd from left) and Tom McCarthy, who lined up to turn in their petitions for Elgin city council to be on next year's ballot. November 19, 2012 | Michael Smart~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: December 21, 2012 6:13AM
ELGIN — The line wasn't anywhere near as long as the one Sunday night at the Elgin Sam's Club, where invited members were waiting for a chance to buy such goodies as 96-cent smartphones and $650 big-screen TVs. But five potential city council candidates did show up by 8 a.m. Monday at the city clerk's office for the opportunity to be listed at the top of next year's ballot.
First into city hall was Mitch Esterino, a local businessman who lives near Larkin High School on the city's west side.
Esterino noted past community involvement as what led to him running. He said one of his issues will be exploring elimination of the monthly fee for garbage collection that went into effect this year, especially since the since the city budget will be more in the black than anticipated.
Second up to the clerk's door was Rosemarie Kahn, an analyst for AT&T in Hoffman Estates who lives in the seven-year-old Providence subdivision on the city's far-west side. Kahn said she saw a newspaper notice about the election, decided to run and attended a session at the YWCA on becoming a candidate. Kahn said she is seeking her first elected office in part because of a lack of representation from new parts of the city, concerns about the city's decision last year to diversify its revenue streams, and to make sure money is being spent wisely.
Former council member Terry Gavin, a self-employed insurance broker who held a seat from 1995 to 1999, said he is running again because he sees a lack of taxpayer representation on the current council and is concerned about growth in the size of governance.
Judy Dunne, the wife of incumbent Rich Dunne, turned in her husband's petitions. Dunne retired from the Elgin Fire Department in September to become a fire grant specialist with Federal Emergency Management Agency. The agency sent most of its Midwest office to the East Coast earlier this month in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, and Dunne currently is working on Long Island.
Trying for first
Esterino, Kahn, Gavin, and Dunne will be part of a lottery held at 10 a.m. Nov. 28 in the clerk's office for the first spot on the ballot.
The spot is coveted because there is evidence to suggest that heading the list can actually mean extra votes, regardless of a candidate's personality or stances. According to the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, candidates at the top of a ballot earn a bigger portion of votes than they would get in any other position. Further research on voting patterns in local elections concludes that the first listing on the ballot also increases a candidate's chances of actually winning office by almost five percentage points.
Assuming no petition challenges, City Clerk Kim Dewis said, "The four people who filed at 8 a.m. this morning will have their ballot placement determined by the lottery. After those four have been placed, the rest of the candidates will be in the order the paperwork was received."
The 2013 election will be for five spots and will add two seats to what currently is a seven-member council. Four of the spots will be four-year terms, and one will be a two-year post.
The only candidate to come forward Monday for the two-year seat was "Driver" Tom McCarthy, a limousine driver from the Cook County portion of Elgin who unsuccessfully ran for a council seat in 2011. As such, he will be listed first for that position.
All potential council candidates must have their petitions filed by 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 26, and need just 73 signatures — which is 1 percent of the mere 7,305 ballots cast in the 2011 council and mayoral election.
Possible primary
According to information provided by the clerk's office, a primary will be held Feb. 26 if more than four candidates file for the two-year term or more than 16 file for the four-year terms. The general election will be April 9.
Twenty people who took out petition packets signed a waiver allowing their names and phone numbers to be released to the media and general public, meaning a primary is a distinct possibility.
Names on that list include incumbents Bob Gilliam and John Prigge; bicycle advocate and former city employee Tom Armstrong; frequent letter to the editor writer Clarence "Common Sense" Hayward; epidemiologist and unsuccessful GOP Kane County coroner candidate Dr. Bob Tiballi; and Anthony Nance, who once owned a downtown restaurant and jazz club with his wife and who in 2006 sued and eventually lost a lawsuit filed against the city of Elgin that contended the decision to strip the couple of a liquor license for their establishment was discriminatory.
In a town where more than 40 percent of the residents are Hispanic, the list seems to lack any names of people from such backgrounds. Sources said a group met earlier this year and tried to recruit an Hispanic candidate but couldn't find anyone willing to run.
Another growing demographic in Elgin is the Lao community. To make their voices heard, the Lao American Organization of Elgin held a drive prior to the recent presidential election, which registered 600 voters in the area. LAOE board member Alan Thavisouk said two Lao-Americans are deciding if they will run for Elgin's council.
In 2011, then-Councilman Dave Kaptain beat incumbent Ed Schock to become Elgin's mayor by a 3,921 to 3,291 tally, or 630 votes, showing the influence a bloc of several hundred voters could have on next year's outcome, especially if fewer than 15 percent of registered voters cast ballots as happened that April.

Jarrow 5-HTP 50 mg
13 people found the following review helpful

Purchased at iHerb
Jarrow has an excellent product with their 5-HTP. If you test your products with kinesiology (muscle testing) you will find their's is the best. I've checked out many Anti-aging products which work with the hormone balance in the body - Melatonin, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, HGH and now 5-HTP. After one capsule of this product I felt calmer, had no awareness of any problems in my life and couldn't even remember if I did have any problems! That's the effect of increased Serotonin levels. I take it with Phosphatidylserine which provides nutrition for the brain. Fish from the ocean is brain food too, if you can't afford the Phosphatidylserine. Jarrow 5-HTP 50 mg is a "must have" for Anti-aging
5HTP- I wish I'd had this years ago

I take this with a B-Complex (note: with Niacin) vitamin every day. I am not a doctor and cannot give an official medical recommendation. To deal with my depression (since my teens!) I tried psychologists, SSRIs (Prozac- absolutely dulled my creativity and other urges), and, most lately, frequent meditation (it helped slightly). For years I felt like a giant pressing weight was centered over my brain. Now I take roughly 250 mg of 5HTP throughout my morning, with maybe a touch-up of 50mg as needed roughly 6-8 hours later. I can't drink alcohol while on such a high dose of 5HTP- I find even a shot makes me depressed and anxious the next day. But, my mood is great, my social anxiety is gone-- the looming "cloud" is gone. All these improvements seems to be slowly improving my maturity, and reducing my anxiety to "face life head on," as they say. What a GREAT supplement! It is important to take 5HTP during "daylight" hours, as the circadian rhythm of your body and the sunlight exposure will help to convert it to Serotonin (at night, it will process too quickly from Serotonin into Melotonin). My BMI is 39 at the moment, so it is important to find a dosage in milligrams that is right for you. I experience a headache and increased aggression if I take too much. Please note: 5HTP will probably only aid depression in those suffering from some degree of serotonin deficiency. It is up to you to decide whether trying this supplement is right for you. Please be sure to buy from as good a source as iHerb: I find the Jarrow Formulas product is more effective than any others I've tried, and the price is very good.

This is an excellent product. Since I began taking Jarrow 5-HTP a year and a half ago, my ability to fall sleep, stay asleep,and sleep deeply, have all improved dramatically. I began feeling the benefits right away, but they became most noticeable after 3 months of continual use. I am also never drowsy the next day, as with some herbs I have tried. I also noticed that as an added benefit of taking 5-HTP, it gently regulates my mood, so I feel an overall heightened sense of well being. I will stay with this brand indefinitely!
Great Stuff

I just recently started taking 5HTP by Jarrow formulas about 2 weeks ago. It has help tremendously. I have been struggling with depression for the last 2 to 3 years, and overnight this has helped so much. I never took any prescriptions because I wanted something that was natural and I know that I did not want to experience any side effects. I heard that many RX's have a lot of side effects. GREAT stuff.
